HC Deb 15 July 1966 vol 731 c286W
Mr. Hannan

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the number of teachers for deaf and partially deaf children in schools; and if he will establish a training course to increase the supply.

Mr. Ross

At 31st May, 1966, there were 106 teachers employed in schools for the deaf and partially deaf. There is no evidence at present that the existing facilities for training teachers of the deaf (at Manchester and London Universities) are not adequate to meet Scottish needs, but the question of providing facilities in Scotland is kept under review.
